American Locomotives There nro 40,000 locomotives In use on American railroads , representing an Invest ment of $50,000,000 , reports the Now York Sun. All points of excellence and demerits considered , the American locomotives are the best In the world nnd besides are the standard of construction for most of the other countries. The average weight of an American railroad locomotive Is 100,000 pounds and three visible changes In the matter of construction of recent years have been these : The size of American loco motives has steadily Increased , the number of driving wheels has grown from four originally to eight or ton and as the number of driving wheels has been Increased the size of the smokestack has been steadily reduced. The competition between English nnd American locomotives has been going on for a number of years , and , to some extent , the English locomotives have pretty well held their own In the competition. Neverthe less , there has recently come to bo greater foreign demand for American locomotives nnd the exports of these during the fiscal year of 1808 wore of the value * of J3,900,000 , an Increase of $700,000 over the year pre ceding. Ono of the most curious features of the gain Is the fact that American loco- mntlvo builders are now successfully com peting with those of Great Britain. The Amorlcah locomotive Is making Its way not only In England , hut also all over the world , liocauso steel nnd iron cost less In this country than In Europe nnd because Ameri can workmen , though better paid than thnlr foreign brothers , do more and better work for the same money. The chief cities en gaged In locomotive manufacture nro Troy , Richmond , Vn , , Schenectady , Pntorson , Pitts- burp , 8t. tiouls , Altoonn , Pa. , and Phila delphia , and the business Is one In which ( hero are constant changes through the de velopment of now patents nnd appliances nnd devices for time and fuel saving. Anew now market , probably , for American loco motives will bo found In the West Indies , where the railroad service has heretofore lirtfln Imporfodt , Strictly fine Clothing. the past year there has been a stronger demand than ever for strictly high grade clothing and to meet this demand we will show/ > this fall a full and complete line of Alfred Benja min & Go's make of clothing.
